We booked a room during a road trip including my husband, my teen son, my teen daughter, and me. We pulled in at about sunset to a nice looking property, but things went downhill from there. The property has two buildings and we were in the southern one, the one that doesn't include the lobby. The window and door were... More

Clean and new. The rooms were big! Service was helpful and fast. It was a great place to get a little rest before moving on to our destination. We would stay again if we are ever passing through Iowa!

I have stayed at every hotel in Grinnell and this is the best one! We have stayed at this hotel twice and were very pleased with our stay. When we came the second time we felt it was our home away from home. I enjoyed the complimentary soup and popcorn in the lobby. It was nice to come in after... More

Stayed here recently and everything was fine. In this class of hotel you get a clean room and comfortable bed. Don't like that the hotels split in two buildings and that they call the 1st floor of the second building the "3rd floor" really they do. No room service and ok stay. If you want real nice this is not... More

I thought this hotel was a good value for the money. It was clean and quiet, the beds were comfortable, the staff was accomodating, and it's conveniently located. The rooms had a strange color theme, sort of a turquoise and burnt orange look that I wasn't expecting, but that's not a big deal. I would stay there again.

Convienent location, next to a convience store, subway and steak house. Bed was good, room clean, staff friendly, small gym, fair size indoor pool and spa. Unfortunatly the day I stayed the morning coffee and breakfast was a bit on the cool side. Otherwise it was a good stay.

I was disappointed in this hotel. The Plus rating is not warranted. The staff was very friendly but the place itself is dated and needs to be updated. We did have a clean room and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. The price was reasonable. It was definitely at the bottom of the Best Western hotels we stayed at... More
